Abstract
The invention provides a tension mask support frame assembly having a pair of support blade members attached to a frame. The support blade members are attached to opposite sides of the frame at a central location whereby each support blade member has a pair of distal ends extending from the central attachment point. A damping scrubber is disposed in the space between the support blade member and the frame near a distal end of the support blade members. Vibrations in the tension mask are thereby reduced through the transfer of the vibrations to the frame through rubbing action of the damping scrubbers.
